If you want to remove the little icon that shows up with the URI (favicon) in the browser's address bar delete the favicon.ico at the root of your Drupal installation.
phpTemplate based themes also serve a favicon if an icon file named favicon.ico is present in the theme folder. So if you are using a phpTemplate based theme then you will have to delete your theme's favicon.ico too. I don't know how themes based on other engines behave.
Clear your browser cache before checking whether the favicon disappears.
I think it just might be something with the theme itself, however. I've tried every file combination, but the theme only takes .jpg, etc. files for the logo and favicon -- it gave me an error each time I tried to up load the .ico file.
The reason that I think this theme is 'special' is that it also doesn't have the PHP input format radio button, so I can't post my Google Ads and have that work.
I dunno, maybe I'm overlooking something, and should do what you guys suggest, go right into the script and insert the link href= thing.
But I digress. Back to favicon talk ...
I'm sure you guys have heard of or used the web service FavIcom from Pics. It makes your .jpegs into .ico files in a snap. I just heard of it today, so I'm just feeling good I'm learning more about this beautiful monster called Drupal CMS!
This happens in the first line of template_preprocess_page. But, this only happens if you have the "toggle_favicon" setting enabled in your theme. To disable the favicon for all themes, go the the following URL in your drupal installation, and uncheck the "Shortcut icon" check box:

In the browser URL toolbar?
Create a new favicon.ico. Browsers by default use the one at the site root.
Alternately, you can specify a one in a different location using a link tag in your theme (between the head tags):
<link href="path/to/your/other.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />

I'm also having favicom problems with my Drupal 6 site ...
... which has the a3 atlantis theme from Blamcast.

Drupal 6
I finally got to the bottom of this:
By default, drupal adds the following HTML code to the header:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/misc/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /&rt;
This happens in the first line of template_preprocess_page. But, this only happens if you have the "toggle_favicon" setting enabled in your theme. To disable the favicon for all themes, go the the following URL in your drupal installation, and uncheck the "Shortcut icon" check box:
